How would your pet react to a burglar

Kylie the cat would probably do more than Keegan the dog. Of course if I am not there, and Keegan is in the crate then I am really screwed!

well over the years this has changed since Keegan isn't a puppy anymore!
I am pretty sure both cats would tuck and run. Altho Kloe with the claws might do some damage.
Keegan I think would sound like she would take their head off but to come down to DO it- I'm not sure she would.
Keegan is a big hunk of burning love, but - her sheer size is intiminating. But quite frankly, I'm not sure WHAT she would do if a stranger tried to enter my home and my parents home. She does just fine when 2 of my neighbor men come over to let her out when I work 12 hour shifts, but one time my dad was coming into their home with his cousin who Keegan has only met a few times, Bud was first (hadta pee) coming in the door and Keegan's hackles were raised, she was snarling and baring her teeth at him. It took my dad a second to get over the shock of seeing/hearing her do that and he hollered "KEEGAN" and she instantly stopped and started wagging her tail. Bud was saying if she doesn't quit I'm gonna pee right here!!! Another time my dad was coming home when she was there and he thought he'd get her all excited - he was knocking on doors and ringing the door bell, but when he went to open the door she lunged and did the same thing as before. He shut the door real fast and thought "OH SHIT". He said Keegan, and it turned her off. Awhile ago I was going out and one of the people wanted me to spend the night and I was like I can't I have a dog at home, she said oh ask Todd to come let her out, and I said no way. She has met Todd (from work) once and after the way she reacted at my parents house I'm not sure how'd she react to him.
I'm not sure I've EVER seen her bare her teeth other than when she wants a tennis ball!

I don't know.

I know there would be lots of barking and a burglar probably would not enter.

I have a fenced yard and a dog door so mine have access to house and yard. I once had an exterminator come unexpectedly when I didn't have anyone to meet him. He said they were both fine. One hid in the doghouse and peeped out at him. (70lb bassador) The other ran behind the dog house but would try to sneak up on him and he would yell and she would run. (50lb blue heeler mix)

I also had my cousin cut my yard. He was going to be on a riding mower so I wasn't too concerned, but told him to watch out for the blue because she has been aggressive before with men and not to worry about the other one because he is scared of everything. He told me that the blue was fine, but the other one chased him around the yard while he was on the mower and tried to eat him up. I would have to see a video to actually believe that one. My bassador has never been aggressive with ANYTHING. The only time I have ever seen him protective was when I walked up and tried to pet a horse in a fence when I was walking him. He had never seen a horse or anything like it so he freaked out, barked, growled...his idea of protection was to bite my pants and pull me back while HIDING BEHIND ME.

I know my blue would attack if someone threatened me.

Its funny how all animals react isnt it?

Maggy Would growl..Not sure if she would do anything.

Lacy I dont think she would do anything,unless one of us was in Harms way.

Molly Would help the Person or Persons carry everything out.

And..

Storm I think he would be devastated and just run and Hide,He was such a happy little guy he just would not understand the situation.

Having only kitties , they would run and hide, ellie would panic terribly and probably hurt herself trying to get out, she is such a scaredy cat, hope it never happens thats for sure.,if it were during the day, they could escape out of the cat door.
